I assume that the blue light surrounding Alzeid as he rises above the avalanche is an indication of him using his own magic as opposed to Razhel using her magic to lift him. If so, it only took them 7 episodes to finally demonstrate that, yes, Alzeid really can do magic. (Something manga readers learn within 2 or 3 pages of Razhel meeting him in v01, c01.)

Little Ludwika is just as adorable and cute in the anime as she is in the manga. So is little Alzeid.

The attacking trees and Ludwika's transformation makes about as much sense in the manga as it did in the anime. (In other words, not a whole lot.)

The sound disappeared during the final minute of the preview. (Not that I was bothered much because I can't understand Japanese.) But I could tell enough to know this.

Spoiler for ep 8:

The next episode is from volume 1. This is the story that introduced Baroqueheat to the manga. But since he's already traveling with Alzeid and Rahzel, I assume they'll change that at least. We should learn more about Alzeid's past on top of what we learned in ep 7.

Addendum: Forgot to mention that we get to see the Teddy Bear of Infinite Holding (a.k.a Mary Poppins' carpet bag's little brother) in action in this episode as Rahzel pulls out a katana!

Alzeid can do magic? Sorry but the anime failed to show that to me as I did think it was because of razhel

Spoiler:

Yeah that was actually talked about in vol 1 but then anime skipped that part. I dont remember what Alzeid does (Im sure LKK-Sensei does) but whatever he does isnt looked highly upon so Raz makes a comment on it.

Spoiler for ep 7:

Well, once again my manga knowledge is coloring my interpretation. However, we've never seen Rahzel's magic have a blue glow to it. It's always been pink. (Despite what my sig shows. ) So that's why I assumed Alzeid was using his own magic. (If you remember in episode 4 when everyone was trapped in the cave, Rahzel told the sister that she and the guys weren't really trapped because they could use their magic to leave. That was the anime's first mention of Alzeid being a magic user.)

Spoiler for ep 7:

You noticed that, did you? I have a theory about the relationship between Rahzel and the woman in the flashback. But it involves manga information that the anime hasn't hinted at yet, so I probably shouldn't share it. Plus my theory could be wrong since I'm at v07 while the Japanese version is into v11 at this point.

Spoiler for ep 7:

The story's comparison between the girl's condition and Alzeid's has always bothered me. He says that he's bothered by sunlight, etc. But unlike Ludwika, we haven't seen him use sunscreen or wear sunglasses on a regular basis. Alzeid says her condition won't improve with age, so the fact that he's older than her shouldn't explain why he can walk around in the sunlight while she shouldn't. So I don't quite get why his albino condition doesn't trouble him. (Hm. Perhaps Alzeid just doesn't care about the health hazard for him? That would be in keeping with his character.)

Are you talking about what Alzeid does in v01 when he and Rahzel meet? If so...

Spoiler for v01, for full detail on Alzeid and Rahzel's first meeting:

When Rahzel discovers Alzeid holding the gun to the guy's head, like in the anime, she assumes that Alzeid is robbing the guy. She tries to help the victim. In the confusion, the victim claims the gun from Alzeid and runs off with a "see ya, sucker!" farewell to Rahzel. Razhel realizes that instead of Alzeid being the robber, Alzeid had been the victim who had just thwarted a robbery attempt. To apologize, Rahzel offers to buy him lunch during which she asks Alzeid if she can travel with him. He says no; he won't babysit her plus he's on a revenge quest.

After lunch, Rahzel tries again to get Alzeid to let her travel with him. He'll need help retrieving his gun, she argues. Since she's a magic user, she could be very useful. Alzeid says he doesn't need her help. He'll go get it now. Then poof! Alzeid teleports away from her.

Rahzel is astounded. She was taught and genuinely believed that there were some things no magic user could ever do. One of those things was teleportation. Yet here was a guy who had just done the impossible. When she accidentally meets Alzeid a second time, he's caught up with the gun thief. Together Alzeid and Rahzel reclaim his gun. She's more determined than ever to travel with Alzeid and swears that she'll teach him that life's worth enjoying. It's worth more than simply wasting it on revenge for his father's murder. She'll stick with him until he learns his lesson. Alzeid is stunned at her passion and relents, agreeing to let her accompany him.

Alzeid can do magic? Sorry but the anime failed to show that to me as I did think it was because of razhel

And yea...the teddy XD Razhel was intended on carving her name onto heat's butt

Anyway, not a bad story that touches onto Alzeid's background. Dammit the woman in her flashback has the same eyes as Razhel I just can't help myself thinking that she may be her mother in fact.

The girl was too cute...and she has albinism just like alzied (though I can't remember if alzied needed any protection from the sun seen as they was intended on giving the girl some sun glasses).

All other small details like why she was trapped there should be clarified by the subs or impz ^_^

Spoiler:

Ya, alzeid also suffers sometimes with poor vision and the likes from sunlight. However, as he ....is ermm somewhat special, he does not suffer that much. I will address a bit of that in my entry coming soon. I am owned by marking assignments. (I am an university tutor in real life)

So! as their travels continue, Rahzel beats off a bunch of thugs who was terrorizing a kid called vincent, or vi for short. They immediately become friends and Rahzel even shows her some magic. However, a blonde haired army guy comes and tries to take Vi away with force even though it seemed like he was his "friend". Not standing for this Rahzel fought back but this guy isn't ordinary and uses some trick to get her to levitate. Just when they were about to kill each other, Heat stops the fight with his afro...

It is later revealed that this guy knew Heat and is a fan of Alzied (...maybe fan is a lesser word from what I see) and he is called Celesta.

Apparently these three used to be in the same army group but Alzied and Heat left. I am a bit confused here as I thought that Alzied met Heat during travel with Rahzel but instead it now seems that they share a past together.

LOL at mission impossible spoof XD

ROFLMAO at maid Alzied...army people are desperate

However, the next two scenes made my jaw drop. Heat takes Rahzel's first kiss for some odd reason and even when slapped he only said sorry...It seems like he will be leaving the trio for some reason and this is his farewell

I have a bad feeling about this ;__;

Alzied warns Rahzel the next day about Celesta...who turns out to be a freak!! and maniac!! psycho!!

Then the potential rape scene from Alzied...wtf

Heat did give a reason why he is leaving (I think) but I dont understand with my limited interpretation skill >_<

Anyway! It ends with Rahzel and Vi being chased by some army folk and she blows them up (or they did it themselves ).

There is definitely more to Celesta than what meets the eyes...

Yaoi yaoi yaoi!!

Spoiler:

Bout time he showed up and he's known as Soresta in the manga and if memory serves I thought his hair was suppose to be red but I havent read vol 1 in a while. Yeah he's a bit nuts

Quoting Deathkillz with my comments intermingled just because it's easier that way. (Being lazy this morning.)

All the next exciting development, I don't even know where to start

LKK --> I'll start by saying that in the manga, this is the story that introduced Baroqueheat to Rahzel. The full story is told in v01, c06-c07 and v02, c08-c10. So already, there's been a change in the anime version since Baroqueheat wasn't traveling with Rahzel and Alzeid when the manga story started.

LKK --> Like Manju said, the manga spelled his name Soresta. (Not that much of a biggie.) Fan is definitely an understatement. Soresta is obsessed with Alzeid. There's no evidence that Alzeid ever returned Soresta's affections though.

Spoiler for small manga v06 spoiler:

We learn in v06 that Soresta is married but still continues his Alzeid obsession. His wife reveals Soresta's shrine to Alzeid which includes candid pictures displayed all over the wall, a handmade Alzeid doll he took to bed with him every night, a specially ordered Alzeid bedspread, the poems Soresta wrote daily, and the Alzeid body pillow. It's quite funny actually. Poor Alzeid is completely freaked out. (Naturally)

Apparently these three used to be in the same army group but Alzied and Heat left. I am a bit confused here as I thought that Alzied met Heat during travel with Rahzel but instead it now seems that they share a past together.

LOL at mission impossible spoof XD

LKK --> That cracked me up. It wasn't in the manga. That was a great addition though.

ROFLMAO at maid Alzied...army people are desperate

LKK --> Alzeid lost a poker game. The loser had to dress like a girl and serve tables. (According to a side comment, Alzeid is a serious idiot who keeps his promises. )

However, the next two scenes made my jaw drop. Heat takes Rahzel's first kiss for some odd reason and even when slapped he only said sorry...It seems like he will be leaving the trio for some reason and this is his farewell

LKK --> That played out differently in the manga. Baroqueheat stole a kiss from Rahzel so that she couldn't forget him after she refused to remember his name and said that she had already forgotten him. He didn't say anything about leaving her, of course, because he wasn't traveling with her yet.

I have a bad feeling about this ;__;

LKK --> Yeah. You should.

Alzied warns Rahzel the next day about Celesta...who turns out to be a freak!! and maniac!! psycho!!

Then the potential rape scene from Alzied...wtf

LKK --> The potential rape scene is an attempt by Alzeid to prove to Rahzel that she lets down her guard too easily and too often. This is still early in Rahzel's travels. She's not a travel savy as she is later on. In this episode alone, she's been caught by Soresta and had a kiss stolen by Baroqueheat. Alzeid is trying to show her that she needs to be more cautious at all times. (Plus I suspect he's jealous. )

Heat did give a reason why he is leaving (I think) but I dont understand with my limited interpretation skill >_<

Anyway! It ends with Rahzel and Vi being chased by some army folk and she blows them up (or they did it themselves ).

LKK --> She set up the situation. They lit the fuse. Literally. So it was kinda both. (And the lesson of today's story, kiddies, is not to light a lighter in a dust cloud. The dust particles may be combustible, especially if you're in a bakery store.)

The mysterious man talking with Baroqueheat at the very end of the episode has me very, very curious. He wasn't in the manga. I have an idea of who he might be. But if I'm right, I'm not sure why he would be there. If anyone can give me an idea of what he and Baroqueheat say to each other, I would love it if you shared.

Are you talking about the color picture from the back of volume 02? That's not him. That's a picture of someone else.

Your spelling is much closer to how the actors were saying the name though. It was a good guess. Who'd have guessed that "Alzeido" was simply spelled "Alzeid"?

But now I am actually a bit worried about what he will do, and from the looks of it, his skills may be on par or above alzied

Spoiler:

I'd say that Alzeid's skills are slightly better Soresta's. But Alzeid tends to hold back. He seldom goes all out. Mostly because it's too much effort to bother with going all out. Alzeid likes to be lazy. Unfortunately, that is not true of Soresta. He's quite happy to do whatever it takes to get the job done. And I do mean, whatever. You should be worried.

Okay, now I'm even more confused. Right now, I can't guess where the anime is going with Mr. Mysterious.
